When we’re stressed out or feeling tired, it can be really hard to prioritise one of the activities we always hear about being good for us – exercise! But it turns out, exercising it not only good for our bodies, but for our brains too.
This week we speak to neuroscientist Professor Sandrine Thuret from Kings College London. She’s an expert in all the ways exercise can boost our brains – from growing new neurons to improving our mental health. We dig into how exercise can both enhance your learning and memory skills and help protect your brain from dementia, and why choosing a form of working out that you really enjoy is all part of the process.
